2 Samuel 14:25-27
Christian Standard Bible
25 No man in all Israel was as handsome(A) and highly praised as Absalom. From the sole of his foot to the top of his head, he did not have a single flaw. 26 When he shaved his head—he shaved it at the end of every year because his hair got so heavy for him that he had to shave it off—he would weigh the hair from his head and it would be five pounds[a] according to the royal standard.
27 Three sons were born to Absalom, and a daughter named Tamar, who was a beautiful woman.

2 Samuel 14:25-27
Lexham English Bible
25 As far as Absalom, there was not a more handsome man in all of Israel to admire so much; from the sole of his foot up to his crown, there was no physical defect on him. 26 When he shaved his head, it would happen every year,[a] which he did because it was heavy on him, he would shave it off and weigh the hair of his head: two hundred shekels by the king’s weight.[b] 27 Three sons were born to Absalom and one daughter, whose name was Tamar. She was a woman beautiful of appearance.
